[meteorite-list] Hammer Question

[Greg Stanley]

Shawn/List:

Technically, I would say yes, but a dirt road?.  I've always assumed a hammer was when a meteorite struck a man made structure or any living thing.  A fence, bridge or any vehicle... etc.

Perhaps Michel Blood can shed some more light on this.

> Now I have a good question about hammer meteorite falls. It is said that a meteorite fall is a hammer fall if it hits something that is man made. Now if a meteorite lands on the surface of a serviced dirt road, a road made by man from dirt, rocks, oil to coat the road, or other processes to maintain the dirt road, wouldn't that constitute as being a hammer fall?
